IMPRCVEMENT IN SlPHON-BOTTLES.

Specificationform'ing part of Letters Patent No. 129,852, dated July 23, 1872.

y -Speeieation describing certain Improvements in Siphon-Bottles, for aerated waters,

ing the gas on iirst opening `the valve to expand in this chamber, to modify somewhat the force with which thewater is discharged from the bottle. y

` The drawing represents aseetional perspective of my limproved top for Siphon-bottles. Directly above the opening a, which is controlled by the valve A in the usual manner,

an air-chamber, B, is formed, from near the bottom of which the dischargeaperture c of the nozzle C issues. As the valve is opened some of the gas will be confined in the upper part of this chamber, and by its elastic' force `to a considerable extent modify the force of the issuing current or stream of the water from the bottle, so that such water may be drawn off without too much ebullition. This airchamber may be formed in the nozzle G, if

preferred. The spring D, which actuates the `valve in closing the opening a, is arranged in a cavity, E, of the top, divided from the airchamber B by a diaphragm, e. The valvestem above this diaphragm has a shoulder at a', and between this shoulder and the diaphragm e an elastic ring or washer, F, intervenes, either fastened to said shoulder 0r to `the diaphragm. In opening the valve Afthe shoulder a of its stem comes down so as to compress the washer between it and the diaphragm, and form an air-tight joint between the two. In this manner, access to the chamber E of gas or water from the bottle, when the valve Ais open, is positively prevented.

What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

A cap for a Siphon-bottle having an airchamber, B, arranged in relation to the opening a in the valve-seat and the discharge-aperture c of the nozzle (l substantially as and for the purpose specified.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
